Hey
Here Free Printable Sketching, Wireframing and Note-Taking PDF Templates you got some ideas sheets, sketchings, wireframings for iPhone and Android. I think this is good start for creating other templates for Windows Phone 7.
Well, the sheet aren't to useful for application in the Metro layout, and certainly not if you decide to go with a panorama layout.
Normal pen and paper is more ideal here, but I could imagine making some pre-prints of a 1920x800 sketches could be useful.
As for more detailed mock-ups the Sketchflow in Expression Blend 4 is really the ideal tool. I'll recommend checking it out, if you haven't already.

I agree with you. But remember, this sheets is only for some pen ideas. In first stage of design, where you gonna do some drafts this is nice "tool"

lol. this is funny
Hello, I'm looking for someone to start a company with. I have an idea but no money or aspiration. I just need someone that can do all administration and other work. My idea is ready and i can draw a picture of an elephant to promote it, so that's no problem at all. I also went to school once.
I declare this thread epic, as I wait for the UPS truck to arrive with my T-Mobile G2...

There is a new WindowsPhone 7 developers forum managed by MVP's. Soon they will post, samples and info about Windows Phone Development.
Should be a good start in the future :

Although I found a lot of humor in this, I also felt somewhat annoyed by the poster's question. My honest answer is to start the way everyone else starts.
Option 1:
Learn through Google, Wiki, forums, and Ask.com tutorials.
Option 2:
Mess around with Visual Basic until you can write what you want.
Option 3:
Take classes
A hint is that if you don't understand the concepts after the first two options, give up. It either comes to you or it doesn't. Don't waste money on classes because you'll also have to take math classes (I'm guessing that you don't learn useful math in graphical design).
Hope I have helped.
Regards,
Anthony

Sensordrone - Tricorderesque Bluetoth addon

Hi everybody,
I just discovered (and backed) a wonderful new Kickstarter Project. The so-called Sensordrone is quite similar to the "Node" and the Sensaris lineup of BT Smartphone addon Sensors, but it offers a lot more, at an attractive price and with a nice level of openness to outside input.
Head over and take a look here:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/453951341/sensordrone-the-6th-sense-of-your-smartphoneand-be
This could be one big step in the direction of Star-Trek Tech getting a bit closer to reality.
The project has already reached and surpassed it's funding goal...not bad in 3 days...
CommanderROR, great project, really excited to see how things turn out.
They could actually benefit from some XDA-Developer support. They are looking for app-inventors with new ideas of using all those sensors the device contains.
So if anyone has ideas, post them here or at their forums!
